That's so funny, Sweden had a similar thing going with Goldie Hawn movies! After The Girl From Petrovka was translated literally ("Tjejen från Petrovka"), the next 8 out of 11 Goldie Hawn movies had their titles changed and translated as "Tjejen som..."(The girl who...) despite having nothing else in common apart from being comedies.
